Lionel Messi hopes his second season with Paris Saint-Germain goes better than his first regarding the goal scoring.
The 35-year-old had trouble finding the back of the net, but it seems he wants to change that narrative. With no drastic move this summer, Messi is putting in the work during the preseason to ensure he’s in good form to hit the ground running.
According to journalist Arnaud Hermant, who appeared on L’Equipe du Soir (via Canal Supporters), says PSG’s staff is happy with how Messi has come to begin preparations for the upcoming 2022-23 campaign.
“Messi, the staff are very happy with it. The staff finds him very involved, very professional. He finds him in good shape. He is not yet at the top, but he is not bad,” Hermant said.
The former FC Barcelona star has a year under his belt at PSG and understands what is required to play in French football.
Furthermore, the veteran forward wants to get off to a good start this season, considering he wants to be in form when the FIFA World Cup comes around in November. As a result, the Argentine knows why it’s essential to come in and ensure there’s no slow start to his season.
